Abstract:
It is the purpose of this paper to describe intrinsic motivation and to explain how the application of intrinsic motivation through meaningful, personable assignments in such forms as research, social media, and critical thinking helped eradicate the lack of student motivation within a classroom. The identification of the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation created an environment in which the students became more active in their education and enhanced communication between the teacher and the students. Increased work ethic and communication in the classroom setting were increased by the application of research, social media, and critical thinking within the scope of personable assignments geared toward intrinsic motivation. Too much pressure is placed upon educators to survive the jungle of teaching the students of today, making a good impression, and earning high test scores.The challenging part of achieving motivation is how the work is presented to students and whether it embodies an intrinsic or extrinsic notion.
